Pregnant and Betrayed by the Alpha

Alexander called me later that night.

“Serena, I am a little busy so can you please ask the gamma to send you the treaty from the neighboring pack-“ I gritted my teeth and refused to hear another word.

“It’s already past midnight and I had a fever yesterday. If you cannot take care of my baby, the least you can do is not try to overwork me to death.”

“W-What?” Alexander who was watching midnight shows with Tiffany in his arms was startled to hear my tone.

“Serena baby, it’s really important for the pack.”

“Then instead of making your pregnant luna do all the work, do it yourself or are you trying to kill my child again like last time?”

“Serena!“ Before Alexander could say another word I hanged up, too tired to let him take advantage of me again.

Unknown to me Alexander was stunned when he realized that I felt that he was the one responsible for my miscarriage earlier.

His face contorted to that of a mix of guilt and regret when he found that I wasn’t picking up his calls either, thus the very next morning I received a bouquet of fresh roses as his ‘apology’ which I discarded in the nearby bin.

I went to the lawyer’s firm that morning and signed the divorce papers readily, even sending a copy to Tiffany's present house- my mansion previously. I was leaving my home of five long years after my marriage when the bell rang.

I opened the door to find Tiffany standing outside with an expensive Gucci around her wrist. When she saw me looking at it, her smile widened.

“Oh, you must have recognized this, it’s the couple watch you bought for Alexander. Sadly, he didn’t want to wear it with you and thus gifted it to me.”

It was a gift my late dad gave to Alexander and I on our third wedding anniversary. Later my husband told me that he ‘accidentally broke my piece and I remember crying for two days for losing my father’s keepsake.

My eyes teared up as I gritted my teeth in anger.

“What do you want?”

Tiffany, having no sense of shame, invited herself in and pouted looking all around the house.

“The decoration is bland just like you Serena, maybe that’s why Alexander needed a change. When I become the luna, I will throw all this garbage and replace it.” I smiled calmly. My heart was steady, not a flicker of emotion breaking through.

“Hmm..that’s all you can do, replacing other people and stealing their belongings. I must have known the very first time I saw you.

You were living in my mansion, flirting with my husband and now even going around shamelessly flaunting my watch…what’s next? Are you pretending to be pregnant?”

Tiffany went pale at that before glaring at me angrily.

“So, what if it was all yours?! Now it all belongs to me! And my child would be the next alpha unlike yours who would be abandoned by his father!”

“Really? Do you think a selfish and arrogant man like Alexander would discard the future heir for a woman? And by the way you can have that unreliable, scheming scumbag for yourself.”

“I was the luna selected by Alexander’s father because he found his son to be too incompetent.

All these years it was I who managed the affairs of the pack. With both your and Alexander’s personality the pack will soon go down the drain, so I am not acting, you truly deserve one another.”

“While you were sleeping around with Alexander, who do you think took after the families who suffered from the rogue attack?

Who was the person that deployed warrior guards and monitored the neighboring packs being afraid that we would be attacked? When I am gone, you will have to do it all alone just like me.”

Alexander had promised Tiffiany that she wouldn’t suffer a loss yet upon knowing that all the responsibilities would be shouldered by her alone she gritted her teeth in frustration.

“I would rather free myself from parasites like you instead of ruining my life.”

My hands rested on my belly as I caressed my child through it before getting up to leave.

“What are you plotting now? Don’t think that I will fall for your innocent façade even for a moment.” Tiffany was restless when things did not go the way she wanted.

She lurched forward and caught hold of my hair.

“You dare plot against me you bitch! Tell me the truth, what did you say to Alexander yesterday that he left me alone at night?!” I resisted only to be pushed by her roughly.

My eyes widened when I fell with a thud and red tainted my vision, blood poured from in between my legs and the events of past miscarriage repeated in front of my eyes.

I looked at the heinous woman infront of me who had a horrified expression as she fled while I clutched my stomach and wept painfully.

“Someone, save my baby please! Help! Help me!” I roared in agony, tears streaming down my face as I dialed Alexander’s number.

I was terrified and did not think of my hatred when he picked up on the first ring. For the sake of my child, I would even beg him to come.

“Alex-“

“Last night you threw a lot of tantrums and did not attend the meeting so stop bothering when I am doing it myself!” He did not let me speak a word and hung up.

“Luna! Oh my god” I was almost unconscious when I heard a pack member rushing to help me.

“Get the doctor and call the Alpha! quickly!” I didn’t hear a word after that as I was on the verge of passing out with pain.

“Luna, you have to stay awake!”

Before I could respond, the darkness pulled me away and I slipped into unconsciousness.

‘If I lose this child, I’ll reject Alexander as mate.’ I swore bitterly to myself, just before the darkness claimed me fully.
